If you're after 4K resolution, then you can save money by opting for a projector. This assumes, of course, that you would want a screen size of more than 80-inches, which would stand to compete with the 100' plus that projectors can offer. In contrast, the cheapest 4K Samsung TV with comparable screen size, the Samsung 82' TU7000 Smart 4K LED TV, costs $1,500, while the most expensive is the Sony 83' A90J Smart 4K OLED TV, at $8,000. On the other hand, the Samsung The Premiere LSP9T HDR 4K Ultra HD Smart Ultra Short Throw Triple Laser Projector is one of the most expensive at $6,500 (and obviously has much more to justify the price tag!). One of the cheapest 4K projectors on offer right now is the Optoma HD28HDR 1080p Home Theater Projector, which comes in at $699. Value for money is a slightly different question and comes down to what you want from your viewing experience.
There are, of course, premium projectors that will set you back £($)1,000 or more, but a large 75-inch TV or 85-inch TV could be £($)5-10,000 if you want the most up-to-date specs and features. When it comes to cost, projectors come in at a fraction of the cost of their TV counterparts. (Image credit: Samsung) Projector vs TV: cost
